Recommendation

Stepping into your first leadership position can feel overwhelming and intimidating. You’ll welcome good advice when you suddenly face multiple responsibilities and a steep learning curve. That’s why Bill Treasurer’s excellent book should be mandatory reading for new leaders – and it’s a good refresher for any leader. The author uses two-word phrases to highlight key leadership concepts – such as “cultivate composure,” “trust first” and “practice humility” – and shares solid advice gained from decades of rich leadership experience. Treasurer doesn’t waste time with fancy language and theories; he offers suggestions to help new leaders learn and grow. They’ll want to keep his manual within reach.

Roughly 80% of organizations believe in prioritizing leadership development, according to Development Dimensions Inc.’s global leadership forecast, but only 5% have development plans ready to implement.

You typically earn a promotion to management due to your stellar track record in staff positions, but that record doesn’t automatically qualify you to lead. You may have to figure out your new position with minimal corporate support. You’re responsible for how other people perform, and you’ll have to contend with various personalities. Some people may appreciate...
